1. IntesisBox BACnet/IP Server – DALI Description
This document describes the integration of DALI ballasts in BACnet compatible devices and systems (ANSI/ASHRAE 135 – 2001 / Annex J - BACnet/IP), with the use of IntesisBox BACnet/IP Server – DALI device.
The ending of this device is:
Providing a DALI physical channel with the necessary bus voltage (about 15V) and
current regulation (max. 250mA).
Setting the proper configuration values of the DALI ballasts (addresses, groups,
max/min levels, …).
Performing control and monitoring of the DALI ballasts in the DALI bus from a
BACnet/IP-based control system or device, so that the ballasts become part of the own BACnet system.
A configuration software tool, LinkBoxBacnet, is provided with IntesisBox, allowing to perform all setup tasks related to configuration of DALI ballasts, setting needed BACnet/IP parameters (IP address, TCP port, …) as well as providing basic monitoring of the integration at setup time.
Once set up, the gateway acts as a BACnet/IP Server device in its BACnet interface, allowing other BACnet/IP client devices to perform COV subscription requests, and reading or writing its internal BACnet objects. These objects provide control of the DALI ballasts connected to IntesisBox.
This document assumes that the user is familiar with BACnet and DALI technologies and their technical terms.

1.1 DALI interface
DALI (Digitally Addressable Lighting Interface) is a standard defining a set of functionalities and requirements to be fulfilled by lighting ballasts. DALI ballasts communicate as well using the same protocol (DALI protocol), defined in the standard and supported by IntesisBox.
From a functional point of view, DALI ballasts provide following features:
Digital control of actual arc power level (dim level)
o Controllable either individually, or by previously defined groups of ballasts. o Set to arbitrary power/dim levels between OFF and 100%, or previously
defined “preset” levels (scenes).
o Using predefined fade rates/times upon power level change.
Reporting of their actual status
o Mainly for detecting failure conditions of the ballast or the installation.
A single DALI channel supports up to 64 ballasts, being this one the maximum number of individual ballasts that can be integrated with a single IntesisBox.
The DALI channel needs a power source, which will be provided by IntesisBox itself. As per the requirements of the standard, nominal bus voltage provided by IntesisBox is 15V, and has a current limiter of 240/250mA.
Each DALI ballast has an own permanent storage memory, where it stores its own configuration values. These values can be read, set and changed using IntesisBox at setup time. They are the following:
Short Address (Individual address / Address for individual control) Random Address (Unique address providing a way of addressing a ballast without
assigned individual/short address)
Physical Minimum Level (read-only/defined by ballast manufacturer) Minimum Level Maximum Level Power-on Level System Failure Level Fade Rate Fade Time Group membership (a DALI channel can have up to 16 groups and each ballast can
belong to any number of them at the same time)
Level for scene 0…15 (up to 16 scenes/preset dim levels can be configured within
each ballast)
Configuration of all ballast parameters can be done with IntesisBox, using LinkBoxBacnet software configuration tool. Usage of this tool is explained in detail in section 3.
Information on DALI technology and a list of existing ballast manufacturers can be found at AG DALI association’s website (www.dali-ag.org).

1.2 BACnet/IP interface
DALI ballasts connected to IntesisBox are accessible by means of its BACnet/IP server interface.
Each DALI ballast is abstracted at BACnet side as a set of BACnet objects, using types Analog Input and Analog Output. The value they represent is always accessed in IntesisBox by means of its BACnet Property Present Value.
For each ballast, following is the list of its related BACnet objects:

This command will overwrite ballast’s perman ent storage memory. Perman ent storage memories have a limited rated number of wri tes. Therefore,
intensive/repetitive use of this command will harm your ballast’s permanent storage memory.
In the list, value xx poses as the ballast short/individual address, and takes value 0 to 63.
